These heated gloves earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they generated the most heat and were the most comfortable. On their highest temperature setting, The Best model generated almost twice as much warmth (135.6°F on high) as lesser gloves, and panelists praised them for dispersing heat across the top of the hand. While other models lost power after only 6 1/2 hours, the rechargeable battery in The Best Heated Gloves warmed hands for more than 12 hours on low power (three hours on highest power). Unlike lesser gloves that were found to be stiff and clumsy, The Best Gloves are made with a soft Thinsulate lining and waterproof material that panelists praised as “Very soft inside, flexible outside, making it easy to grab things.” Cinches at the wrist keep heat in and cold out, and a zippered, windowed pocket allows easy access to the battery and provides a quick glimpse at the temperature setting. A press of the battery’s large button changes the temperature to one of four levels. The 7.4-volt batteries recharge in four hours with included AC adapter. Imported. Unisex sizes S/M (circumference of hand size at knuckles 7 1/2"-9"), L/XL (9-10 1/2"). (7 oz.)

How To Determine Your Glove Size

To ensure a proper fit in our gloves, we encourage you to measure your hand to determine your glove size.

How to Measure Your Hand

Hold your hand flat, palm side down.

Wrap a measuring tape tightly around your hand, making sure to measure the widest part of your knuckle area, all the way around your palm and back.

Make a fist with the measuring tape in-hand, making sure it is still over the top of your knuckles.

The resulting measurement in inches is your hand size. If in-between sizes, order the next size up.

Nice looking gloves. However, I planned to use them for snow skiing; but they did not do the job in mid-20s, nor in the 30s.

I only give these 4 stars because of the gauntlet. It is to small to go over more than a long sleeve shirt, much less a winter coat. The batteries make the gauntlets too large to go inside the coat sleeve. They should be much bigger to go on the outside where they belong. That said, they do a really good job of keeping your hands warm. They work even better with a light liner.

Heat level controls are conveniently located and easy to operate. Cannot get glove opening over winter coat sleeve. Glove and battery is all bunched up at your wrist. Heating elements do not extend down to the end of the fingers that get the cooldest. Mfg cost saving? Cannot understand how the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute tested and rated these gloves and not discovered these shortcomings. Inside the office without a coat on? Plan to return these gloves for refund.

I have tried many options including layering, exercising, heat packs, etc. This item does generally what is says however be aware that it is significantly heavier than I expected. On my first run with them, I really felt that weight. Also, and this is a plus or minus depending on your perspective, the blue lights are very obvious when the unit is on. The brochure states that you can flip them but then you can't control the heat. Difficult to use fine motor skills, so have to take off gloves to change heat settings... Finally, when it gets warm, the sweat doesn't easily evaporate so the inside remains moist.

Needed a covering mitten to retain heat in extreme cold (12 below zero at the top of the mountain).The clips that hold one glove to the other are almost impossible to open; better to link the back-of-the-hand tightening strips.Battery at lower settings does indeed last a long time and can readily be set with gloves on.

Unfortunately, I discounted some negative reviews as I thought "the Best" couldn't possibly be that far off the mark. With a brutally cold winter, i was really looking forward to some gloves that would provide warmth to my fingers. My hands are at the limit for the small/large size so I opted for the large thinking with liners they would be fine. The top part of the gloves where the battery is stored cannot fit over the coat sleeve, even when the sleeve is drawn tight around the wrist. But, bottom line, with the unit on 100% warmth and given plenty of time to warm up, it does nothing to warm the fingers. I am very disappointed, regardless of how expensive they are.
